For whom does the Old Big Dawg bark? The duty of a surrogate is to put the interests of the client first.  Or in the case of a surrogate for a politician put the interests of the client politician first.   The problem with the old campaign dog B.J. Clinton that every time he faces a choice whether to defend his record, or to advance the cause of his wife, he strokes his ego and feeds his politician wife to the political dogs, from Betsy Newmark:

Bill Clinton’s response to the BLM protester indicates what happens when a politician will defend his position instead of surrendering to the pressure of hecklers. A lot of what he said was totally legitimate, but it’s just not what politicians should do. However, what is clear is that he regards Hillary’s campaign as a chance to talk about his own presidency. That seems more important to him than advancing Hillary’s race. And getting into a shouting match with a black protester is not going to help Hillary. I doubt that they wanted to spend the day defending Bill.

Mrs. Clinton’s claim to being qualified to be President is based on spending eight years in the East Wing of the White House. At the same time Mrs. Clinton repudiates seemingly every thing her legal husband, and proclaim co-president did while in the West Wing. Strange!
